TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver

Posted by Inspiring Golfer

The TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver is a 450cc, SuperFast driver built for exceptionally fast swing speeds. It features a smaller and lighter dual-crown (by 12%) that distributes more mass around the weighted power-base, helping to increase both carry and distance. Plus, its lower & precision-placed CG provides a higher launch angle with lower spin. Compared to the adjustable r7-family of clubs, the Tour Burner is considered better for “bombing it”, versus “those who prefer to tinker.” Note also the TaylorMade Tour Burner Driver’s Inverted Cone Technology, which dramatically expands the part of the clubface responsible for high FOR—this aids in consistently longer drives on off-center hits.

Features:
» Dual crown and weighted power-base promote increased carry and distance
» Modern head shape promotes lower, deeper and precision-placed CG for higher launch angle and lower spin
» SuperFast Technology promotes increased swing speed, faster ball speed and added distance
» Inverted Cone Technology dramatically expands the portion of the clubface that delivers high COR for consistently longer drives on off-center hits
» SuperFast 60-gram shaft is exceptionally lightweight and stable to promote greater distance and accuracy

This club got me excited on every swing. It looks beautiful but not too flashy which is a really good balance. This club was the second best in terms of distance, only 3-5 yards shorter than the Cobra Speed-F. For me it was the most consistent by far and it has a wonderful feel off the clubface. A very forgiving club that also allows a slight amount of shot-making.

It promotes natural draw as face is slightly closed. Suggest that high handicappers go for the 10.5 degree which promotes higher but straighter ball flight (great for slicers). Also, be sure to match your swing speed to the shaft flex. Only if you swing over 95 would I consider the stiff flex.
